Abstract

We propose an optical configuration of a horizontal-switching liquid-crystal
cell, consisting of a splayed liquid-crystal cell and uniaxial films, to improve the viewing
angle characteristics by compensating for the phase dispersion in a diagonal direction. The
optical design of the proposed configuration was performed on a Poincaré sphere with
geometric calculations. By fabricating in-plane switching cells with the introduced
configuration, we demonstrated their optical performances. As a result, we found
that the diagonal viewing angle of the proposed horizontal-switching cell could be increased
by
80% compared to a symmetrical viewing cone.
